Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics - Chapter 227

“On the night of Friega’s day, as the bell rings at zero o’clock, I will take the pink lion away.

Sincerely, Kaito Kidd”

In the curator’s office, Chen Long looked at the Kidd notice in his hand with a shocked expression.

The name of Kaito Kidd, even an archaeologist who wanders all over the world all year round has never heard of it.

Especially when the archaeologist happened to have a special sheriff friend, Chen Long still had a certain understanding of Kaito Kidd.

Chen Long didn’t have any particular impressions of this eccentric thief.

After all, he is not the kind of “scholar” who only likes to dig out gold and silver treasures. Historical relics are what fascinates him most.

What’s more, Kidd returned the treasures he got back almost every time, and he saved Gotham not long ago, so he doesn’t look like a bad person.

Therefore, Chen Long is not at all worried that the strange thief will look at those precious cultural relics.

I thought I would never have had a chance with this strange thief in this life, Chen Long, and I would never have thought that reality would be such a coincidence.

“Chen…Mr. Chen, Kidd, the strange thief, obviously wants to steal the Pink Lion Diamond. This is the treasure of our town hall. Don’t be stolen by Kidd!”

The curator looked at Chen Long hopefully.

“Mr. Curator, I am just an archaeologist, not a secret agent. You should seek the assistance of the police immediately. I can help you contact Sheriff Black.”

Although I don’t know why the curator would ask an archaeologist in his own district to help, Chen Long is used to helping others.

At the same time, he also had secret considerations.

“Daddy just recently discovered that the snake charm is in this museum. Kidd’s notice was sent here. Is it a coincidence…”

“As mentioned in the reports about Kidd, the thief Kidd has always liked precious gems, and there are very few people in the world who know the existence of charms. He shouldn’t come for charms.”

Chen Long breathed a sigh of relief.

Kidd is not what McGinson was when he first debuted. He can steal even a nuclear bomb. What else can’t be stolen?

The name of Kaito Kidd has brought tremendous pressure to gem collectors all over the world, for fear that one day they wake up and see Kidd’s notice.

If Kidd’s eyes were not diamonds but spells, it would be really difficult to handle.

“No, you can’t notify the police!”

Who knows, when Chen Long wanted to inform Sheriff Black to say something, the curator hurriedly stopped.

“It is impossible for the police alone to stop the thief Kidd. Legend has it that the thief Kidd is proficient in disguising techniques. If there are more police officers, they are helping Kidd!”

“So far, the police have not beaten Kidd once, which is the best proof.”

The curator’s reaction made Chen Long a little confused. He didn’t expect the curator to distrust the police so much.

In fact, the curator does not trust the police, but this is not the reason why he is unwilling to call the police.

“The case of the strange thief Kidd will definitely make the New York Police Department fully respond. I am afraid that the museum will be strictly investigated. Then the story of my stealing treasures will be exposed…”

The curator secretly said inwardly.

“There are too many museums in New York, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art…Compared with these large museums with large collections, this small museum I ran can produce too few things. .”

“Without a world-famous treasure exhibition, the museum can attract very limited visitors and revenue is even more limited. Sooner or later, it will be forced to close.”

If it hadn’t been for the pink lion diamond, the rare large pink diamond, to hold the scene as the treasure of the town museum, this museum would have long been unable to open.

With the changes of the times, fewer and fewer people are still willing to visit museums. Many museums do not even charge tickets in order to maintain their popularity.

That’s why the curator is so polite to Chen Long. After all, there are too few people willing to donate cultural relics to their own museum.

This is true, and the operation of museums has become worse and worse in recent years.

It is not just here, it is said that even the huge natural history museum will usher in a big change because of something unknown.

As a result, the curator’s mind became active, and he began to try to secretly exchange the collections in his museum, sell the genuine products, and leave the fakes in the museum.

The museum is not owned by the curator alone, and most of the collections are in the names of the major shareholders behind them, so he doesn’t feel distressed at all when these collections are sold.

But if the shareholders were to know about this, they would definitely kill him.

Therefore, the curator cannot ask Chen Long to call the police. If the police find any clues about a black transaction, otherwise there are not ten lives enough for him to die.

Even, he didn’t even want to make the notice of the notice. Kidd might also deliver the notice to the police directly, so he could only bite the bullet and refuse the police’s assistance.

Of course he couldn’t tell Chen Long these words, so he moved out of the flag that the police couldn’t catch the strange thief Kidd, and acted as if I didn’t trust the police.

“Uh… Mr. Curator, if you don’t even believe the police, why did you stop me just now?”

Chen Long scratched his head and smiled dryly.

The curator was taken aback, and looked up and down Chen Long weirdly.

“Mr. Chen, this is not the time to make a joke, right? You came to me today to protect the Pink Lion Diamond? Well, I apologize for my rudeness and stupidity just now, Mr. Chen, please help me.”

Chen Long is still very famous in the archaeological world. It is said that he is very skilled. The curator doesn’t know how he is good, but there is no other way except to ask Chen Long for help.

Moreover, he has known Chen Long for a long time, and he is not worried that Chen Long will be interested in diamonds.

“Ah? What? No, Mr. Curator, I came here to protect the charm, not the pink lion, and I’m not talking about Kidd, I’m talking about Black Hand…”

Chen Long was surprised when he heard the words, this misunderstanding was a bit big, and he hurried to explain.

Unfortunately, the curator seemed to recognize Chen Long and interrupted him directly.

“Mr. Chen, don’t say anything, come with me!”

I saw the old curator grabbing Chen Long’s wrist and walking towards the door.

Get out of the office and go straight along the corridor.

“Turn left from the front, and it is the room where the pink lion diamonds are stored.”

The curator walked while talking to Chen Long.

What they didn’t notice was that a tourist not far behind them was looking at them with a playful smile.

“How can I not accept the help of the police? A performance without an audience is meaningless…”

“I thought that with my current fame, just sending a notice letter could cause a sensation, and it would save a little trouble. I didn’t expect to go to the police station in the end. It was really troublesome.”

“But the curator’s attitude is a bit wrong. Even if you don’t trust the police, you don’t need to react so much, I hope it won’t be a troublesome thing…”
